UNSPSC 50461902: Canned or jarred albina vereduna beets

The variety of beets known as albina vereduna beets that have been canned or jarred for preservation.

UNSPSC 50461902 Canned or jarred albina vereduna beets is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of prepared and shelf-stable vegetable products for institutional food service, though the recent opportunities block contains no solicitations directly for the code's nominal commodity. School districts, state departments managing institutional facilities, and state correctional and health systems issue the bulk of recent food procurement activity under adjacent codes in the canned and prepared vegetable family, with Georgia school districts (Liberty County, Muscogee County, Burke County, Savannah-Chatham County), Texas health and human services entities (HHSC), Oregon corrections, and Illinois veterans' facilities appearing frequently. The recent activity instead spans broader food supply contracts covering dozens or hundreds of line items—including canned tomatoes, fresh produce, eggs, proteins, dairy, and consumable supplies—solicited as RFPs and IFBs with response dates between February and July 2026. Representative solicitations show the scope: the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0017449 for food and consumable products at the El Paso State Supported Living Center (due July 13, 2026), the Oregon Department of Corrections ITB S2910000017145 for approximately 7,616 cases of canned tomatoes (due June 19, 2026), and the Ben Hill County Schools IFB for food products across multiple categories (due June 15, 2026). Contract values where disclosed range from $1.5 million historical spend (Texas HHSC El Paso facility) to $9 million annual (Douglas County School System food distribution).

Geographic concentration centers on the Southeast (Georgia school districts in multiple counties), Texas (HHSC and TDCJ facilities statewide), and Oregon (ODOC). Illinois veterans' facilities and Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia complete the geographic footprint. School nutrition programs represent the largest issuing-body category, followed by state correctional systems and state health systems serving supported living centers and hospitals. Canned and jarred vegetables—including tomatoes, beets, and other shelf-stable prepared items—appear as line items within these broader solicitations rather than as standalone commodity procurements. The code's nominal product (canned or jarred albina vereduna beets specifically) does not surface in recent posted opportunities; vendors pursuing this code should expect to compete on multi-category food supply contracts where such items are specified as part of institutional nutrition or kitchen operations rather than as single-product procurements.
